　　 The development of Xinjiang's clothing industry can focus on the four major industrial chains.

Sun Huaibin, director of China Textile Economic Research Center, Yao Peisheng, director of China Asia Africa Association, Xinjiang textile office director Liu Yan Ning, executive vice president of Shaanxi garment industry association, Chen Huian, Shandong Ruyi group deputy general manager Wei Jiebin, Xinjiang Yi Li Qi. Clothes & Accessories Dolikon Hugakomati, chairman of the Culture Development Co., Ltd., chairman of Hua he international and Liu Chuanwu, the commercial counselor of China's former Embassy in Kyrgyzstan, spoke at the forum.

Liu Yanning, director of Xinjiang textile office, said that the textile industry is a leading industry and traditional dominant industry in Xinjiang's industrialization, and also an extremely important livelihood industry in Xinjiang's national economy. Xinjiang is the largest cotton producing province in China, and its cotton output accounts for more than 40% of the total output of the country. At present, Xinjiang cotton spinning ring has more than 5 million 500 thousand spindles, ranking the forefront of twelve provinces and cities in the western region. Xinjiang It has a certain export and domestic demand market. In 2011, Xinjiang textile and apparel exports amounted to 7 billion 280 million US dollars, of which clothing was US $5 billion 410 million, accounting for about 32.14% of the total export value, and exports and local market consumption, the clothing market volume reached about 50000000000 yuan. The export of clothing enterprises in Xinjiang accounted for only 1%. Xinjiang has relatively low labor costs, low electricity price, abundant labor resources, and garment industry transfer. Xinjiang has certain undertaking conditions, and has the favorable conditions for becoming the most influential garment production base in Western China and the bridgehead for westward export. The autonomous region has introduced preferential policies to encourage the development of the garment industry, so as to make Xinjiang's garment industry bigger and stronger and improve the proportion of Xinjiang's clothing in export processing. By the year 2020, the clothing industry's sales revenue in the region has exceeded 30 billion yuan, the total trade volume of clothing has been 160 billion yuan, and 500 thousand people have been employed.

The four industry chains can be focused on the following aspects: first, cotton spinning and weaving industry, giving full play to the advantages of Xinjiang's cotton resources and good quality, and truly building up the high-quality cotton yarn and cotton production base, should emphasize the level and not emphasize the scale; two, the chemical fiber industry, develop the viscose industry with the advantages of cotton linter, highlight the environmental protection and cotton textile matching, appropriately extend to knitting, non-woven fabrics and wrapping paper; three, the national dress industry, fully tap the Xinjiang multi-ethnic dress culture, set up the popular publishing platform and production processing and circulation system, guide and enrich the costumes of Xinjiang's multi ethnic groups; four, the export processing industry, facing the markets of Central Asia, Western Asia and Russia, and gradually transform the considerable volume of goods trade into the production and processing in Xinjiang. Sun Huaibin, director of the China Textile Economic Research Center, said that the resources, foundation and future development of Xinjiang textile industry should be considered. {page_break}

　　 Proposal to build China's textile and clothing Silicon Valley in Urumqi

According to statistics, the export volume of China's textile and garment products has accounted for 1/3 of the total export volume of the world, and exported to more than 200 countries and regions. This industry has earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country, and has made great contributions to the society. But China is only the largest clothing production workshop in the world. It is the OEM base of many international brands. Most enterprises are in the downstream of the industrial chain, with little added value. Independent design and independent brands account for only 10% of the total exports.

Yao Peisheng, director of the Asia Africa Association of China, said that in Russia and other former Soviet republics, consumers generally chose the famous brand products of France, Italy, the United States, Britain and Germany as the first choice. Our high quality consumers in China also recognize the brands of these countries. Since China is the largest producer of clothing in the world, we need to think deeply about: what is the fundamental reason for the independent design of independent brands? I only see departmental leaders and industry leaders and experts calling for "transformation and upgrading" and "improving the ability of innovative design" and so on. But what are the long-term strategies and the phased countermeasures? Recently, I saw the history of the pioneering work of the Silicon Valley in the United States. It is very inspiring: it is possible to create a textile and clothing Silicon Valley in our country, use this base to attract talents from all over the world, and gather the main functions of R & D, production and marketing to play the leading role in the whole country's industry.

Yao Peisheng suggested that the textile and clothing Silicon Valley should be built in Urumqi. He believes that Xinjiang has the following unique advantages: the central government's policy of developing the central and western regions will not change, and the intensity of development will increase every year. The best quality cotton and petrochemical products in Xinjiang also have the potential to increase; traffic will become more and more convenient; regional advantages will continue to emerge; the eastern industry will accelerate to the West. But the only thing that matters is talent. However, this is not irreparable either. If we can provide more favourable conditions in the future than in the eastern region, technical experts in the field of garment industry will go to Xinjiang.

Liu Chuanwu, President of Hua he international and Commercial Counselor of China's former Embassy in Kyrgyzstan, has worked in the Ministry of Commerce for nearly twenty years. He is mainly responsible for the former Soviet Union's international affairs. He worked for ten years in the business consulting office of the Embassy in Russia, Kyrgyzstan and other countries. He was very familiar with the Soviet Union, Central Asia and other Soviet Union's market and bilateral bilateral economic and trade cooperation.

Liu Chuanwu said that after more than thirty years of reform and opening up, China has vigorously developed the production and import advanced production technology, and the textile and garment industry has been developing vigorously, coupled with the cheap labor cost. China has formed an absolute advantage in this field. It should also be noted that the channels and ways for Chinese clothing to enter the markets of Russia and Central Asian countries are still very low. First, it is a large number of foreign businessmen traveling in China or directly entering foreign large markets by Chinese merchants, although the price is low, but at the same time there are quality problems; two, the national or global clothing brands that have emerged in China these years have not yet entered the market, almost no brand stores of Chinese brands. On the contrary, foreign brands are everywhere in China's major cities, including Urumqi. Although the textile and garment industry of the former Soviet Union has not yet formed its scale, it has created its own brand to varying degrees, including the Muslim style brand in Central Asia, but it has not yet entered the Chinese market well. There is another noteworthy new situation in Russia and Central Asia. With the establishment of the customs union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan, the traditional way of Chinese clothing entering the market in the region has been affected, and garment production and processing in this area will become a new way of cooperation.

Liu Chuanwu said that the vigorous development of the Shanghai cooperation organization has highlighted the desire and characteristics of strengthening cooperation in the region, laying a good foundation for trade and investment facilitation in the region. Xinjiang, as the bridgehead of China's "going out" to the West and the bridge "one billion and three hundred million of China's mainland, facing the Commonwealth of Independent States, South Asia and Western Asia one billion and three hundred million", has increasingly become a good platform for Asian and European countries' economic and trade cooperation under the backdrop of the Chinese government's full support for its leapfrog development. It is suggested that the mainland enterprises seize the opportunity to realize industrial transfer, establish the production base and industrial chain for the neighboring countries' markets in Xinjiang, and also suggest that foreign business friends participate in exchanges and cooperation. On the one hand, they will further introduce Chinese clothing enterprises to the domestic market, carry out production and processing cooperation, and actively promote their own clothing brands to enter the market of Xinjiang and the mainland of China. {page_break}

　　 Garment industry in western provinces join hands in "Xikou"

Chen Huian, executive vice president of Shaanxi garment industry association, talked about the problems of the western provinces and regions joining hands in "Xikou". He said that Xinjiang's border trade exports were mainly light textile industrial products, and more than 70% were manufactured products, including textiles, clothing, shoes Clothing, household appliances, household appliances and so on, among which clothing is one of the most important commodities, but most products are of low grade and low price, and lack of leading products and brand goods. The products exported through Xinjiang's border trade are basically produced by small and medium-sized enterprises, private enterprises and individual enterprises in Zhejiang, Hebei, Northeast China and Guangdong. These products were transported to Central Asia through CIS merchants, and entered the wholesale markets of vast villages and towns, and rarely entered urban department stores. Starting from Lianyungang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and neighbouring Sichuan, Chongqing and other garment industrial clusters along the Asia Europe road and bridge are the major apparel enterprises. Brand clothing However, it is seriously missing in Xinjiang's border trade. This is very inconsistent with the strategic layout of the state's advocacy to guide the textile and garment industry to the central and western regions, and is in sharp contrast with the current need to cope with the plight of the industry and ensure the development needs of economic growth.

At present, the regional economic development of China's garment industry is very uneven. The 5 eastern provinces of the east coast have become the main producing areas of China's clothing industry. The total output accounts for more than 70% of the total national production, while the total output of 12 western provinces and regions is less than 10% of the whole country. More than 90% of domestic clothing brands are also concentrated in the eastern region. However, under the current economic environment, the export of foreign trade clothing in the eastern region has been blocked, and domestic garment production has declined and the deficit has expanded. In recent years, the apparel industry in the central and western regions has increased the intensity of technological transformation through the implementation of the national textile and clothing adjustment and revitalization plan, showing a good momentum of rapid development. The characteristics of local garment industry are being formed, and the regional comprehensive resources advantage is becoming increasingly obvious. This has laid a good foundation for the Midwest garment enterprises to use the new silk road of the Eurasian Continental Bridge and expand the border trade.

Chen Huian suggested that we should take advantage of the favorable occasion of the first Asia Europe Silk Road garment Festival and integrate the advantageous resources of various regional industries, and initiate the establishment of the strategic alliance of Asian europe silk road garment industry to jointly expand the Asian and European silk road border trade big market. Taking full advantage of the advantages of Xinjiang's border trade ports and supporting the preferential policies of industrial development in the region along the Asian Europe continental bridge, we will make full use of the advantages of the border trade ports in the region to form a joint fleet to enter the Eurasian border trade garment market, not only to meet the needs of the middle and low East Asian urban and rural markets, but also to expand the middle and high-end market in these large and medium-sized cities, and gradually establish advanced and mature business models and distribution channels, so as to realize the win-win cooperation between the central and Western garment industry. {page_break}
